FAQ'S
We’re here to answer all your questions and provide clarity about Miapia and our
products. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about our jewellery,
materials, processes, and services.
1. Why choose moissanites?
Moissanites are a brilliant, sustainable, and ethical alternative to diamonds. At
Miapia, we use high-quality moissanites that deliver the same sparkle and
durability as diamonds, without the environmental and social impact of
mining. They are nearly as hard as diamonds and offer exceptional brilliance,
making them ideal for everyday wear.
How do moissanites compare to lab-grown diamonds?
While both moissanites and lab-grown diamonds are ethical and sustainable
alternatives to mined diamonds, there are key differences:
• Brilliance: Moissanites have a higher refractive index than
diamonds, which means they sparkle more in light. Lab-grown diamonds offer
the same sparkle as natural diamonds but with less fire than moissanites.
• Hardness: Lab-grown diamonds are slightly harder (10 on the
Mohs scale) compared to moissanites (9.25), but both are highly durable for
daily wear.
• Cost: Moissanites are more affordable than lab-grown diamonds,
offering a luxurious look at a fraction of the price.
Moissanites combine beauty, durability, and affordability, making them the
perfect choice for those who value sustainable luxury without compromising
on style.
2. What is ‘real demi-fine jewellery’ by Miapia? How is it different from regular demi-fine jewellery?
Miapia elevates the concept of demi-fine jewellery by using premium materials like
vermeil gold over sterling silver and rhodium-plated sterling silver. Unlike regular
demi-fine jewellery, which often uses steel or brass with flash plating or “gold-tone”
finishes, Miapia uses thick, high-micron gold plating (at least 2.5 microns), offering a
luxurious finish that lasts for years.
3. How are Miapia’s processes different from mass-produced jewellery?
Every Miapia piece is handcrafted using techniques typically reserved for fine
jewellery. Our process involves skilled artisans who focus on attention to detail and
durability. Unlike mass-produced steel and brass jewellery, our materials are
sustainable, hypoallergenic, and built to last, ensuring superior quality and timeless
design.
4. How does Miapia pricing compare to fine jewellery?
With gold and diamond prices at an all-time high, Miapia offers the perfect
alternative. We deliver the luxurious look and feel of fine jewellery at a fraction of the
price. By manufacturing everything in-house and selling directly to consumers, we
eliminate middlemen, ensuring premium quality and exceptional value.
5. Are Miapia jewellery pieces hypoallergenic?
Yes! Miapia jewellery is hypoallergenic, thanks to our use of sterling silver, vermeil
gold, and rhodium plating. These materials are gentle on the skin, making our pieces
suitable for those with sensitive skin.
6. Can I get help with styling or bespoke designs?
Absolutely! Miapia offers personalized styling assistance to help you choose pieces
that complement your style. We also create bespoke designs tailored to your
preferences, whether for a special occasion or to bring your dream jewellery to life.
Contact us for a consultation.
7. What are the benefits of vermeil gold over sterling silver?
Vermeil gold over sterling silver is a premium alternative to solid gold. It involves
thick layers of genuine gold (at least 2.5 microns) plated over sterling silver. This
ensures the jewellery maintains a luxurious gold finish while being more affordable
and sustainable. Unlike flash plating or “gold-tone” finishes, vermeil gold is durable,
tarnish-resistant, and made to last.
8. Do you ship across India? Is shipping free?
Yes, we offer pan-India shipping, and it is completely free for all orders.
